The 50.5% county car figure is 1.8 pp above the 48.7% UK car number (2024-25 DVSA data), which makes Surrey better than average on the headline measure. Within-county variation matters as much as the average, individual centres can sit well above or well below the county number once you compare them side by side.
The headline spread within Surrey sits between Guildford (63%) at the top of the league and Redhill Aerodrome (49.4%) at the bottom, a gap of 13.6 percentage points. Urban-heavy routes with multi-lane roundabouts, bus lanes and dense pedestrian traffic typically drag the bottom-of-county figure down, even within a single county.
